LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. (Before Mr Registrar Winslow as Commissioner.) IN RE SPRINGETT. This bankrupt was described as of Clement'a-lane, Lom bard-street, architect, and applied for his release from custedy. The debts and liabilities are stated at £27.000, and he attributes his difficulties to not being able to dispose of some houses built by him on his own land. There are, also, secured debts to a large amount, and it is expected that there will be a surplus available for a dividend. IN RE sormA TUBBS. Mr Reid supported, and there being no opposition the release was granted. His Honour gave judgment on the application of this bankrupt from custody, the order of discharge having been already granted. The baukrnpt was in custody under a judgment for rent duo of premises alleged to belong to a Mr Robinson, but his title was disputed by other parties, and she positively refused, although the plaintiff (Robin son) offared her her release on her doing so. His Honour granted the order of discharge, and took time to consider the question of release, and he now held that she was entitled, as the assignees declined to take pos session, as no benefit would result to the estate, and the judgment had been extinguished by the order of discharge. Mr J. B. Sorrell and Co., Mark-lane, presented a petition in bankruptcy against a person who had carried on an ex tensive business in the city as a bill broker and commission agent, The debtor had left his place of business, on which it was sought to found an act of bankruptcy. The debts are thought to be large. Mr Sorrell said that a female servant in the house had been summoned, but she had left, the house was shup up; and a clerk who had been twice summoned was not in at• tendance ; and he therefore asked for a further adjournment to enable him to complete the case. Adjourned accordingly. It is somewhat singular that the defendant was in the building to hear the result. IN RE EMERY. This was a meeting for choice of assignees in the matter of this bankrupt, Samuel Anderson Emery, the well known comedian, but the case was adjourned till the 25th Novem ber to arrange with the creditors out of court. The debts are only £271. The bankruptcy is attributed to insufficient income. . MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—This Day. (Before the Assistant Judge.) Martha Burnett, a married woman, was indicted for stealing a quantity of linen articles, the property of Mary Champelovier. The prisoner pleaded an alibi. After a great many witnesses had been examined, The jury returned a verdict of guilty. The learned judge postponed passing sentence until next sessions. (Before Mr. Payne.) Harriet Mordica was indicted for attempting to steal a cloak, the property of a linendraper. The prisoner, by the advice of her counsel (Mr. Ribton), pleaded guilty. Mrs. Dean, who came up to speak to her character, said she had never known her do a dishonest act before, She unfortunately was a little given to drink. Mr Ribton—Unfortunately that is the cause of three fourths of the crime cf this country. Mr Payne—lt is the cause of thejury being kept here for many days longer than ought t) be. Mr Ribton—Well, it is a very trivial ease, I hope you will give her a very lenient sentence, Mr Payne—lt has been said she is given to occasional drinking, but when she did so I suppose she took a good deal ? Mr Ribton-01 course you can assume what you please. Mr Payne—l want to know how prisoner gets her living. Police-sergeant Matthews—l have soon her about the streets at all hours of the night. Prisoner--I never was out late before. Mr Ribton—The policeman will be sure to say to the con trary, so don't say any more. Mr Payne—l don't think you ought to say that. Mr Ribton—The prisoner ought to be much obliged to the policeman for saying what he has. Really, my lord, this is a very trifling case. Mr Payne—Well, I shall commit the prisoner for six months, with hard labour. She will come out of prison a new woman. Mr Ribton—And that is a light sentence. That is what my client gets by calling witnesses to her character. If she had not done so you would have heard nothing about her drinking. It appears to me she has got an additonal three months for getting drunk. Mr Payne—Nothing of the kind. I have, I think, given her a very short sentence. Mr Ribton—Oh very, but I don't think so. It would have been better if she had said nothing, but had abided the result of the simple verdict of a jury. Mr Payne—Well, perhaps, in that case she would have got a year's imprisonment.

World, in one of its recent num• bars, attempts an analysis of the existing debts and resources of the United States, and confining itself to setting forth admitted facts, leaves its readers to estimate the probable result. In the first place, the debt is shown to have amounted in June last to £520,000,000. Since that date the war has been going on, and still goes on, at an estimated cost of £BOO,OOO per day; and the calculation is that by March next the Federal Government will owe at least £700,000,000, A large portion of the existing liabilities, being in the shape of currency, carries no interest; but, sooner or later, this must be met, and, reckoning the ultimate interest to be paid at the moderate rate of 6 per cent., a total annual charge will thus exist of £42,000,000 per annum. It is then remarked that the United States have always contemplated with astonishment the immense debt of England, and expressed " great commisera tion for her people ;" but that the interest of the whole English debt is only £27,000,000. And even this comparison, it is added, gives a very imperfeot idea of the impending consummation. It is based on the assumption of the termination of the war in March, but takes no account of the " immense amount of unsettled claims to be brought in." These will include damages sustained by loyal citizens, compensation for property taken for Go vernment purposes, and the reclamations of foreign Governments " for losses incurred by their citizens for illegal captures ;" also the war debts, contracted by the various counties and towns of individual Statea for bounties, &c. At the least, therefore, an aggregate national liability of £1,100,000,000 will then have to be encountered. The question remains what are the peculiar resources of the Federal States to enable them to sustain this burden, On that head it is shown that according to the most favourable official and other estimates the value of the real and personal property in the loyal States (including Kentucky, Western Virginia, and Mis souri, whose loyalty is hypothetical), was in Jan., 1862, £2,111,200,000. Hence the actual debt in March next, supposing it to have been raised to £1,100,000,000 by the settlement of all claims to that date, will amount to more than half the entire property of the whole of these States, and every in dividual in the country will have to recognise that the larger portion of everything he considers him self to possess in the shape of wealth actually belongs to the public creditor. And even here we do not arrive at the climax, since it has to be borne in mind that the valuation of the property of the various States was made when they were at the height of solid prosperity, and that since that period the pro ductive powers of all have been fatally diminished, while such States as Missouri, Maryland, Kentucky, and Western Virginia have been devastated and nearly tlked. The fact is also to be considered that the army cannot be disbanded at a blow, and that in the shape of pensions alone a large charge must remain. Should the South be subjugated and brought back into the Union, the prospect, it is argued, would be worse instead of better. " They have a large debt of their own due to their own citizens and to foreigners, which they would feel in honour bound to pay, if able, in case the Union did not assume it, and enormous appropriations would be required to rebuild the lighthouses all along the Southern coast, to repair the fortifications and to open and render the harbours safe for corn• merce." Fin .11y, the readers of the lVorld are asked in the face of these statements to consider the fact that the Customs revenue last year in gold was only about £14,000,000, that the internal revenue produced only £7,800,000, and that the latter, although estimated under the new tariff to yield £200,000 per day, is not believed thus far even to have approached such a sum. They have here the materials for a judgment, and the World prefers to leave the case without comment. " Whether, if the war continues, cur debt will be paid or repudiated must depend upon the virtue of our people." It is admitted that the argument is available that the debt is so distributed among the population that a large party will thus be created against repudiation. But (says the World) it is sa►er to look at the past. Oar revolutionary indebtedness was in the hands of all the people. It was held in sums smaller or larger by almost every one, and yet this did not prevent its being scaled down to 40 for one, POLICE INTELLIGENCE,---This day. MARLDOROU3H-STREET. A BARMAN CHARGED WITa ROBBING HIS MASTER. ROBBERY AND RECEIVING,—Francis Hatswell, a young man, barman to Mr William Thomson, of the Blachit Horse public-house, Haymarket, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with robbing his m:ster of 6d, and Andrew Hart, a bootmaker, of 22, Rmelagh-grove, Pimlico, was chargei with receiving the same, well knowing it to be stolen. Mr Child, solicitor to the Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society, prosecuted. In opening the case Mr Child said the prisoner Hatwell had only been three weeks in Mr Thompson's employ, and had been carrying on a system of robberies very common, namely, by having a person to come in and put down a small coin, and giving change as for a large one. The pri soner Hart had never been a visitor at Mr Thomson's till after Hatswell came to live there, and since then he had been in the habit of going to the house five nights out of the seven, and three or four times a night. Mr W. Thomson said that suspecting Hatswell he watched him last night, and a little after 12 Hart came in and called for some warm gin and water, which Hatswell served him with. Hart put down a shilling on the counter, and Hatswell took from the till a GI and some coppers, and then put his hand again to the till and took out a second Gd. and placed it on the counter in front of Hart. Hart in his hurry to take up the money dropped a 61. c n the ground. He (Mr Thomson) then told his other barman to got over the counter and look for the Gd., and Hart refused to move. He (Mr Thomson) then got over the counter, and having pushed Hart away, his barman took a Gd. from under his foot. He then asked Hart whether the 61. was his, and he said, "Well, if I have not got another 61. in my pocket it is mine, as I had only one." He then asked Hart to turn out his pockets, and he did so, when he produced three more sixpences and shillings and some coppers. 'He then gave Hart into custody, and on afterwards speaking to Hats - well, he said, if ke gave the 61. it was a mistake. He told Hatswell that it wan not the first mistake by a good many, and that he had long suspected him. He then asked the prisoner what he had in his boxes, and he said "about £2." On calling in Sergeant Appleton, and searching the prisoner's boxes, £4 3s. 2d. was found, and some tobacco and cigars belonging to him (Mr Thomson). He then gave Hatswell into custody. In answer iv Mr Child, Mr Thomson sail that he never saw Hart at his house till Hatswell came, that Hart visited at his house three or four times a night, and always wont to the front where Hatswell served. The prisoner Hats well said he did not know Hart. A barman, in Mr Thomson's employ, corroborated Mr, Thomson, Sergeant Appleton, 26 C, proved asking tho prisoner Hatswell wlaat;he had in his bores, and he said about £3, but on searching it £1 3s 2d was found, some tobacoo and "Eliza Hart," who, on inquiring, notwithstanding the pri soners d en i e d know cigars, and a quantity of letters signed know ing each other, turned out to be the prisoner Hart's sister. Austin, 188 C, said in taking Hart into custody he denied knowing Hatswell. Mr Tyrwhitt committed the prisoners fcr trial, and refused Hart's application to be admitted to bail. DISORDERLY CONDUCT IN TUE RAYMARKET.—Wm. Rime, described as a traveller, residing at 3, St. John's• terrace, Brampton,' was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with disorderly conduct in the_Hi3market. From the evidence of police - constable, 316 A, it ar. peared that about half-cast one o'clock that morning he saw two prostitutes fighting in the I . ll yEcarket, a large crowd of persons being collected at the time. The defendant came up flourishing a stick, and told him to leave the women alone. lie total the defendant to go away, and he said he would do as he liked, and then struck a gentleman's hat, but the gentleman refused to prefer any charge. As the defendant refused to go away, and caused a deal of confu sion, he was ob iged to take him into custody. Mr Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 203 or 14 days, and said ho might be thankful the gentleman was not in attendance. WESTMINSTER. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY ♦ SERVANT.—Jane Hewitt, a young woman, was placed at the bar charged with robbing her mistress, Mrs. Mary Dickenson, a lady living at 70, Stanley-street, Pimlico. Prosecutrix said that the prisoner entered her service on the 18th of August, and left on yesterday week suddenly. She left some clothes at the time of her departure which were examined, and an article of clothing of her mistress's was found amongst them. It was sub.equently discovered that a great quantity of handsome clothing, some sheets, and other linen had been stolen, and prosocutrix went to where the prisoner was lodging and charged her with the robbery. The prisoner denied it while standing on the stairs, when a fellow lodger, with a view of proving her innocence, lifted part of her cloth ing to show that sho had not a missing article named upon her, end unluckily displayed ono of prosecutrix's missing petticoats. On entering pri soner's room several articles of the stolen linen were found, and the accused was taken into custody. Mr Holder, inspector B division, said he had not had time to make the requisite inquiries after the other properly. Prisoner said that it was true she had taken the things now produced, but she did not know anything about the other things now spoken of. Mrs Dickenson said there was another and very serious charge against the prisoner for stealing some valuable ar ticles from a lady who was staying in her house. They consisted of gold sleeve links, very handsome studs, and articles of that description. After a conversation between the magistrate and Mr Holder, prisoner was remanded for a week, the second charge being postponed. THAMES. DESPERATE OUTRAGE.—James Bateman, aged 22, and George Bateman, 25, two brothers, of No. 3, Faust-street, Bromley, labourers, who are better known in that district as the "Bromley Tigers," were brought before Mr Par tridge, charged with creating a disturbance at the Five Bells public-house, Old Ford-road, Bow, assaulting Mr Daniel Cook, the landlord, and assaulting Philip Ward, 183 K, a police-constabl e in the execution of his duty. Ward stated that last night he was called into the Five Bells by the landlord. He found the prisoners there, drunk, and making a disturbance. The landlord gave Henry Bateman in charge. He took the prisoner into custody, and made a violent resistance, and kicked, plunged, and fought in a fearful manner. A second constable came in to assist. The other prisoner than tried to rescue his brother, and a severe struggle took place. James Bateman held on by the door -post, struck witness on the side of the neck, and knocked him down. His brother constable seized the two Constables, and they all fell together. He got up again, and was forced to use his truncheon to defend himself, James Bateman was dragged by force from the house. On the way to the station-house the prisoner was very violent, and often threw himself down, and plunged about the road. Mr. Daniel Cook, landlord of the Five Bells, said the prisoners made a disturbance in his house. They called for two cigars, and would only pay for one. That was how they commenced a riot in the house. He said they had cheated them out of 2cl. At last one cigar was given back. They then struck a man in the tap-room. He pushed James Bateman out of the house, and the prisoner struck him a tremendous blow on the lip With his clenched fist, and caused it to bleed profusely. A police. man came, and George Bateman pulled off his jacket and struck the constable, whose hat flew off. The prisoners had been in his house before and made a disturbance. He had to send for the police to remove them on former occasions, Frederick Baker, a police-constable, No. 239 K, confirmed the statement of Ward, and said that the conduct of George Bateman was so desperate and ruffianly that he Was Com pelled to knock him down with his truncheon. The prisoners said they were drunk and were first at tacked. It was, however, clearly proved no provocation was given them. Mr Partridge sentenced the prisoners each to ono month's imprisonment and hard labour. MAIMETS—Tids Day, MARK-LANE. Th of English wheat t o this morning ' s markete re fwa'sh 1Y vseurPyPm o derate.

With ground hard as adamant, and in clouds of dust worthy of the Sahara, Lincoln inaugurates the steeplechase season. The day's card was a poor one, comprising only five events, of which the Autumn Handicap, the chief, brought together but few starters. Of course, the sta . eof the ground had a good deal to do with this comparative failure, owners of horses being chary of pulling them out, with the prospect of the Houghton week before them. Suburban was made the favourite, despite his not being considered to like " hard going." The old horse,lowever, pulling double all the way, won without much trouble. Erin-go-Bragh, who looked formidable at one time, retiring from the con test on entering the s'raight, and leaving the Count's horse nothing to beat but a moderate trio. The Selling Steeplechase also furnished a quintet ven turesome enough to brave the perils of a course resembling a turnpike road and a brook innocent of water. After divers refusals and mishaps, the race was left to Cumberland and Discrepancy, Mr Land's horse winning at last very easily. Tho Hurdle Race was also an easy victory for Pigeon, and brought a poor afternoon's spot to a conclusion. The weather was fine, and the attendance anything bu numerous.

They ran thus to the distance, when the former gave way, leaving Goldylocks in possession of a clear lead, which she retained to the end, and won in a canter by ten lengths.

As they proceeded up the hill Pixie headed Sir Watkin, and as they reached the lime kilns ho joined the leader, the pair racing for the lead to the mile post. Here they were joined by Erin-go-Bragh and Suburban, the lot running in close company into the straight, where Erin-go-Bragh was beaten and became last. The leaders retained their position to the distance, where Moose wan beaten, leaving Pixie in possession of the lead, closely pressed by Sir Watkin and Suburban to half way down, where the latter came up next the rails, and getting his head in front at the stand won a fine race by half a length, a length separated the second and third. Moose was fourth, beaten three lengths. The Selling Steeple Chace, of 5 so\;, with 40 added, 12st each. With selling allowances. The second saved his stake, About three miles. 7 subs.

Crossing the lane into the meadows, Cum berland increased his lead, but on reaching the second fence in the rear of the hovel he blundered on landing, and came on his nose and knees, but was saved from falling through the quickness of his rider, but the mis take left him some lengths in the rear of Ballinasloe and Discrepancy, Gambler going on fourth and Princess next. The latter, however, was placed hors de combat by falling at the same fence as the favourite, and was afterwards persevered with. As they prec - eded across the stubble in the rear of the brick-kilns, Ballinasloe increased his lead to upwards of twenty lengths, but going on the wrong side of the turning flag ho had to return, and was in consequence out of the race. This mishap gave a clear lead to Discrepancy, wh o came on with the running, f illowed by Cumberland to the fence into the winning field, which the former cleared a couple of lengths in advance, but on reaching the flight of hurdles beyond Cumberland cleared them first, and came on with a decided lead, which he retained to the end, and won easily by three lengths. The others, who repeatedly refused, were pulled up some distance from home. The winner was bought in fir 70 guineas.

C. post, where the favourite, who had hitherto lain off, came through his horses and took a decided lead, which he held to the end, and won, pulling double, by six lengths ; a like distance separated the second and third. Imports of Textiles. The importation into the United Kingdom o textile materials is progressing very rapidly, and every item, alpaca wool excepted, indicates a notable, if not an extraordinary, increase; of which the details are specified below:— EIGHT MONTHS ENDED AUG. 31. 1863. 1864.

Besides the above, upwards of 151 million pounds of woollen rags were imported for the purposo of being used as wool; and in this item an increase appears of more than 2,000,000 lbs. COMMITTAL OF A STREET PREACHER AT But. KENHEAD.—TtIe Birkenhead magistrates were en• gaged yesterday in the investigation of certain charges of breach of the peace preferred against Abraham John Dow ling, a well-knoal4 street preacher. It appeared that on Sunday night Dowling was preaching in Birkenhead, and that a crowd of about 2,000 persons ccllected. A good deal of disturbance took place, and the police took the preacher into custody, it having been frequently before found that his violent and disputatious conduct had led to confusion and uproar. For the defendant it was contended that he was not responsible; for the disturbances, as they would not have taken place had the police kept the foot path olear. Dowling was ordered to enter into his own recognisances of £lO, and to find two sureties of £2O each to keep the peace. The defendant said he had no means of providing the surety, and in default was committed to prison. Review of the British and Foreign Corn Trade. (From the Mark-ldne _Express) The continuance of another week's dry weather, though serviceable to the condition of the grain and cleansing of the land, has somewhat hindered the autumnal wheat sowings; seed those in the country who were in hopes the late downfall would reach their wells have been disappointed, a great want of water being still experienced in many places. This state of things has had the same effect in France ; while in Germany there have been frequent and sharp frosts, with a heavy fall of snow in Silesia. We are there f rre practically reminded of winter's approach, though in this fickle climate we may yet have bright and warm days before Christmas. The discount pressure still being heavy it was unlikely we could speak of brisk markets, and the state of our averages show the point of depression wo have now reached, say 38s 9d, which may perhaps prove the minimum, as no fur ther diminution has occurred generally for a week past or more, and in some places there has been an advance. Foreign markets have nearly all been sluggish, there being so little opportunity for export; but rates do not come down corree spondingly low to allow of any margin for export. In France there had been a gradual and difficult decline. The Belgian and Dutch markets have scarcely varied. At Hamburg the obstinacy of holders shuts out all chance of profitable ex port ; and though the lower sorts of sew wheat at Dantzio have been continually declining, some sales of the best have been made at fully the former rates, and merchants there prefer waiting to making any sacrifice on qualities suitable for milling. In L - he interior of Germany rates have under gone scarcely any change, and there seems little expectation of any further reduction. The crop in Canada has turned out much better than expected under the long prevalence of drought, and growers are well satisfied. At New York the constant fluctuations in the value of gold quite para lyse business, and vessels could be had at one third of a common freight, say 2d per bushel. The arrivals off the coast since Oct. 7 were 47 cargoes. of which 28 cargoes were wheat, 16 maize, 1 barley, and 2 beans, Business was reported on the following terms ; Taganrog Ghirka wheat at 35s Gd to 35s Od, Galata maize at 26s G 3 per qr. The sales of British wheat noted last week were 100,070 qrs. at 38s 93 against 110,526 qrs. in 1863. The London averages were 40s 2d on 6,926 qrs. The imports into the United Kingdom for the week ending October 8 were 739,193 cwt. wheat, 59,991 cwt. flour. Monday in Mark-lane commenced on fair English and good foreign supplies of wheat. During the morning but few samples were sent up from Kent and Essex, and as most of the country markets exhibited some improvement, factors commenced by asking rather higher rates, but in this they did not succeed, as millers firmly resisted paying any advance. The sales that were eventually made were only at the previous currency. The foreign trade was steady, and holders more readily obtained the prices of the Previous Monday. On 'Wednesday there were 210 qrs. per coast, and 4,190 qrs. foreign. There was then a quiet busi ness in some samples at the previous Monday's rates, farmers apparently sending very reluctantly to such mar. kets. The business in foreign was on a small scale, but fine qualities brought fully as much money. Friday's returns were 320 qrs. per coast and 9,280 qrs. foreign. The quantity shown this morning was too small for any serious amount of business, and in the sales that took place no change of value was noted. Foreign samples of fair useful quality went off steadily on the same terms, There was a full average supply of country flour on Mon day, and fair arrivals from America. The country trade was quiet, and inferior descriptions barely maintained their prices; but good American barrels were readily saleable at the previous currency. The top price of town made remained at 40s per sack. On Wednesday there were 359 sacks per coast, and 39 sacks foreign. business was limited, Lut prices of first quality country marks were firm, as they were also in American barrels, so few ship ments being in ale. Friday's returns were 490 sacks coast wise and 30 sacks foreign. Norfolks were saleable in a quiet way at about former quotations. Barrels were readily placed, fine extra State at 218 and upwards. Tema quota tions stood the same. The barley supply on Monday was short both on British and foreign arrivals. The best malting fully maintained the previous rates, while medium and low grinding sorts, both English and foreign, were somewhat improved in value. On Wednesday there were 750 qrs per coast and 1,100 qrs foreign. The business passing in malting sorts was small ; but previous rates were insisted on, and the medium and low qualities were all fully as dear. Friday's quantities were 810 qrs per coast, and 1,100 qrs foreign. There was then no change in the market price of malting, secondary and inferior sorts being all much the same as on Monday. But little was passing in malt on Monday, but previous , rates were maintained. Pr ices remained without alteration at the close of the week. Then.) were fair arrivals of oats on Monday from the ports of the United Kingdom, and another heavy foreign supply, chiefly from Russia. Many of tho Russian cargoes being ordered to granary the pressure on the market was light ened, and some recovery from Monday's previous low rates for Russian samples was experienced —say to the extent of Gd per qr; but little improvement, however, was quotable for other descriptions. On 'Wednesday there were no arri vals par ooaat , I,SGO qrs Trish, 2.5,120 qrs farci c al. 'With continuous good foreign supplies but little way could be made .in fresh arrivals, many of which were ordered to granary; but holders were not disposed to yield anything of Monday's advance. Friday's return were 146 qrs per coast, 4,103 qrs from Ireland, and 39,560 qrs foreign. This further increase made sales yet more difficult, as dealers generally were pretty full ; but with many still being stored there was no reduction in values. The bean supply on Monday was altogether very scanty, both English and foreign. There was, however, but a slow sale for all sorts, and iu some instances less money was ac cepted. There was no subsequent alteration. FOREIGN. The Paris flour market during the past week was very heavy, and sales difficult, closing finally with a reduction of lfr, the price ruling being 44fr to 48fr per 157 kilos (28s 6d to 31s per 2801 b English) for the best, qualities, millers find ing great dulness at this decline. Dealers also consented to some reduction. The six marks for the current month were only worth 48fr per 157 kilos (31s per 2801 b). There were offers at 49fr 90c per 150 kilos (32s per 2801 b), at four month from January, but no buyers. Type Paris for the current month remained 29fr 250 per 100 kilos (294 3d per 2801 b) ; and at four months from January, 30fr 503 per 100 kilos (30s 6d per 2801 b). The wheat trade was excessively dull, _ . and no way could be made in sales without a conc.ssion of 50 centimes per 120 kilos—say 9d per qr on last week's prices. The range noted was 25fr to 27fr 50c per 120 kilos (38s 3d to 42s per 2501 b). The business done consisted chiefly in the first qualities ; inferior meeting with no atten tion. Rye remained firm, without any quotable change of value, still being saleable at 15fr 75c per 115 kilos (25a per qr). Barley also was unaltered in value, choice being worth 15fr 25c per 100 kilos (25s per qr). It was the same with oats, the best De Brie being quoted 15fr 50c per 100 kilos (18s per qr). The seed trade was quiet and prices un changed. The tendency of the country wheat market was downwards—say from 35c to 70 per hect. or 10d to is 8d per qr, but there were some exceptions, as at Roye and Issoudon, which were 30c to 500 per hect, or 9d to Is per qr higher. Prices at Marseilles and Bordeaux were un altered, The Belgian markets were much the same as during last week. At Antwerp business was quiet, and rates without alteration. Some sharp frost had been experienced in the country, causing some fears for the effects on forage. The business in cereals at Liege was moderate, aad prices with out variation, rye expected, which, appearing in but small quantities, went off readily at improved rates. The official prices for old wheat were to 44s 6d, new to 42a 6d—rye to 26s 6d—old oats to 218 6d, new, 20s per qr; Flour, 31s 641 to 32s 6d per 2801 b. The only difference noted in prices at Amsterdam was in rye for future delivery, which was offered at 6d per qr less money. Prussian rye. 278 61—St. Petersburg, 27s per qr. Supplies at Maestricht were only moderate, and rates remained much the same, Old wheat to 42s 6d, new to 41s, rye to 225, barley to 26s 6d per qr. The weather at Cologne had been fine, the market calm, with but little passing, and rates unchanged. Native wheat on the spot, 39s—foreign, 37s—for November, 36s per qr Rye on the spot, 27s—barley, 24s to 26s 6d—oats, 17s 6d per qr. At Straubing,in Bavaria, prices were much as previously with the market fairly supplied. A week of rough windy weather had been experienced at Berlin, with frequent white morning frosts—while in Silesia there had been a heavy fall of snow. Arrivals by water had been plentiful. A fair amount of business had passed, with moderato fluctuations in price. Wheat, barley, and peas finished vary dull—rye and oats very firm. Flour was a difficult sale, without being offered cheaper. At Hamburg the want of an export trade was felt with- out, however, inclining holders to meet it by a suitable re duction in prices. 'I he increased rate of discount at Dentzic to 7 per cent. added to the previous dulness of trade, amounting almost to a paralysis. It was only the best new wheat that was saleable ; secondary and inferior qualities were of quite un certain value. The week's sales comprised about 8,000 qrs wheat, 2,500 qrs rye. A sale of flue had been made at 478 per qr, cost and freight to England, and some middling at 43s cost and freight. Freights generally 3s 6.1 per qr. At Constantinople the low quotations in England and France were an Lifectual stop to the export trade, By a carefully prepared statement from Canada it would appear that the wheat crop in that country, after all the sinister predictions respecting it, exceeded the average of 20 years, and that of maize it was thought would be very fair. Prices from Montreal were much as last quoted. The incessant fluctuations of gold and the exchange at New York made transactions in grain extremely difficult and ;he general tendency of prices was downwards, yet no enough to induce shipments; indeed, vessels 150 went a begging that offers were made to take wheat at 2d per bushel, - with corresponding ratos for flour. Whether this will be enough to tempt holders to forward to this country . . remains to be seen ; but with so many mercantile disasters and money so tight we very much dGubt whether much will be sent. Chicago wheat, f.0.b., 34s 61; red winter, 36s 6d per qr of 4801bs. Gennessee flour, 23s 61; extra State 19s Gd per barrel. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, lIALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK. S PORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTHAMPTON, Oct. 9.—The Hamburg and Arliedean Company's bteamer Saxocia, Captain Trautmann, sailed for New York to-day with the mails, 143 saloon pissengers, jewellery from Havre value 5,000 francs, and a fair amount of cargo. HEALTH OF LONDON. (From Me Registrar-General's Report.) The deaths in London rose to 1,355 in the week that ended last Saturday. In each of the four pre vious weeks the number was below 1,300. In the 41st week of 10 years, 1854.63, :the number of deaths was on an average 1,076, which, if a cor rection is made for increase of population, becomes 1,183. Tao present return exhibits an excess of 172 above the estimated number. The deaths of young persons (0-20 years) rose to 684. There were 10 fatal cases of smallpox, 47 of measles, 88 of scarlatina, 12 of diphtheria, 22 of whooping-cough, 83 of typhus, 33 of diarthea. Five deaths from scarlatina occurred in the sub• district of St. John Westminster., 5 in the west sub district of Islington, and 15 in the district of Green wich, which comprises Deptford, Greenwich, and Woolwich, where there were also 10 from typhus. While diarrEoei has declined to its ordinary limits, bronchitis has shown a tendency to increase. Last week the deaths from the latter disease were 103. Those from pneumonia rose to 89. During the first half of October the mean temperature of the air was 50 deg. ; in the greater part of Sep tember it was about 55 deg. A woman, aged 70 years, elephantiasis. Last week the births of 1,020 boys and 1,05.7 girls, in all 2,072 children, were registered in Lon. don. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1854.63 the average number (corrected) was 1,851. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30 . 017 in. The mean reading was above 30in. en the first four days. The reading rose to 30 . 21 in. on Tuesday, and fell to 29 90in. on Thursday and Friday, The tnean temperature of the air in the week was 50 3 deg., which is 0.6 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 60.8 deg. and occurred on Monday. The lowest night temperature was 37.7 deg., and occurred on Saturday. The range of temperature in the week was therefore 23.1 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and the air temperature was eight deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 74. complete saturation being represented by 100. The wind blew gene., rally from north and north-west till Saturday after. noon, when it changed to south-west. There was no rain in the week, The mean of the highest tem peratures of the water of the Thames was 54 deg. ; that of the lowest was 51.8 deg. The births registered in Dublin during the week ending the 15th of October were 146, and the deaths were 100, in a population of 254,808 (in 1861), spread over an area of 3,808 statute acres. The deaths in Vienna as returned by Dr Glatter were 262, 262, 285, and 279 in the weeks ending Sept. 17, Sept. 24, Oct. 1 and Oct. 8 respectively, when the mean temperatures were 58.3 deg., 60 . 4 deg., 52.5 deg., and 41.8 deg., those at Greenwich having 54.9 deg., 56.0 deg., 54.5 deg., and 49'7 deg. in the same periods. • The Murder at Sunning-hill Park, Yesterday afternoon the police were still endeavouring to discover the perpetrator of the cruel murder at Sunning hill Park, the seat of Mr P. H. Crutchley. The lodge in which Mrs Butler lived is one of those small buildings, consisting of two or three rooms, which are usually placed just inside the gates of the roads leading to the country seats in the district. It is a neat little place, with whitewashed front, and a central door, on each side of which is a window. In front of the house there is a pretty flower garden, sepa rated from the private road which leads to the mansion (a mile or so distant) by a low railing. The site of the lodge is a rather lonely one, as it is about half a mile from Buck hurst-hill, where, with the exception of a farm some 4 hoo or 300 yards off, are the nearest houses to the scene of the murder. From further inquiries it appears that Mrs Butler acted as housekeeper to William Manoey at the lodge. -,Manoey is in the employ of Mr Nelson, a racehorse trainer at Wink field, and on leaving home about half-past five o'clock on Saturday morning to go to his work heard the old woman, who was asleep in her room, and did not disturb her, and from this time it is stated that no one seems to have noticed anything particular till the discovery of the crime in the course of the evening, when the woman was found in tr dying state by Kentish, the carrier. The murder seems to have been committed vt ith much brutality and violence, for on the red brick floor just inside the door, where the pave ment has become hollowed with wear, there is a large pool ' of coagulated blood, while against the door leading to the kitchen, where the murdered woman seems to have laid her head, there is a large stain and splashes of blood. The body of the poor woman now lies in the bedroom of the lodge, which is in charge of Police-constable Hewitt, 15 Berks Constabulary, Who are the guilty parties is at pre , - sent a mystery ; bat the police are said to be in pursuit of two tramps, a man and woman, who were seen on the road to Windsor a short distance from the lodge by Kentish, the carrier. There are also other rumours afloat, but till the inquest takes place probably little w.ll be brought to light with regard to the perpetrators of this foul deed. Al pre sent it certainly would seem that the murder was not com mitted from motives of plunder, as, though there was a little money in the house, nothing was disturbed or brolatn open. What is most singular is that the murderer or mur derers were not disturbed while in the act of destroying the life of the poor victim, as the lodge is bounded by two roads, one a private and the other a public one, along which per sons might be expected to pass at any moment. A general order bas bJen received at Chatham from the Horse Guards, announcing that the examination in July, 1565, of candidate. , for admission to the Staff College will comprise the following portions of military history and geography :—Military History.—The Campaigns of the 13ritish army in the Peninsula, in the years ISOB 9 .10,with a general outline of the operations of Liao Spanish armies so far as they were calculated to influence those of the British.
